Sounds like you (or something/someone else) removed these files before the upgrade.

According to pacman.log this "warning: could not get file information ..." should not happen:
...

$ pkgfile /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libnm/NMAccessPoint.html
extra/libnm

Anyway, I will pay attention if it happens again.

Regarding that "warning: directory permissions differ ...", is it really necessary to have 700 on that dir (the file contents inside it are already protected) ?

The warnings are printed because pacman expects to find files on your system, but these files are not present on your system. This is not a pacman bug, it's a side effect of removing files from your system. As this is about gtk-doc, I can imaging you removed those files to save some disk space.

As for the permissions, https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/52759
